Fluorite

WE 24-28, July, 2022

​

Location:

Knappenloch, Weisseck, Lungau, Salzburg, Austria

​

Description:

The fluorite comes from the lower part of the crystallized cavity. The fluorites from the ceiling area are slightly lighter and the closer the fluorites from the floor area get the darker they become. This piece impresses with its intense colors. The undamaged piece is hemispherical crystallized with some dominant fluorite cubes up to 5 cm in diameter. With a slightly concave shape, the crystal surfaces show a fine parqueted structure with a silky shine due to water etching. With backlight, the fluorite shows very intense colors of violet and blue with some dark spots in one area.
